A reimagination of the classic Bordeaux white blend, Poggio alla Gazze is composed of 72% Sauvignon Blanc, 16% Vermentino, and the rest Viognier and Verdicchio. The 2021 Poggio alla Gazze is vibrant and forward with fresh tropical fruit of guava or papaya, salted grapefruit, and lime blossom. It is medium bodied but round, without any harsh edges. It has a chalky texture, with pithy citrus and more tropical notes as well as saline earth. Drink 2023-2028.

Made mostly with Sauvignon Blanc, the 2021 Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia reveals a luminous and transparent appearance with fresh aromas of passion fruit, citrus and green apple. The wine is very focused in this classic vintage with upfront acidity and pretty mineral notes. Ornellaia is one of the only estates to offer a Sauvignon Blanc in this part of Tuscany. This bottle is especially popular at the many local fish restaurants along the coast.
